Nuverra Environmental Solutions Inc. appointed oilfield services veteran Patrick L. Bond as its next CEO, effective April 21.
Bond, most recently co-CEO of Gravity Oilfield Services, joins Nuverra with decades of experience in the oilfield services sector, according to Charlie Thompson, the company’s current CEO.
“As a 30-year industry veteran, Pat brings not only tremendous operational expertise, but also a deep commercial focus that will be critically important to the company as the industry emerges from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price collapse in 2020,” Thompson said in a statement.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz., Nuverra provides water logistics and oilfield services to customers focused on the development and ongoing production of oil and natural gas from shale formations in the U.S. Thompson will continue to serve as chairman of the Nuverra board of directors following the transition.
Bond’s career includes senior leadership positions at Halliburton Co., Weatherford International Ltd. and Schlumberger Ltd. He left Gravity, a Permian-focused provider of midstream and infrastructure services, in 2018 to pursue opportunities outside the company.
“Pat has spent the better part of the last 10 years leading smaller private companies like Gravity and its predecessors, and we believe he will be an excellent fit for Nuverra, our customers and our employees,” Thompson added.
Bond will be based in Nuverra’s corporate office in Houston.
